Crimes are a common societal concern impacting quality of life and economic growth. Despite the global decrease in crime statistics, specific types of crime and feelings of insecurity, have often increased, leading safety and security agencies with the need to apply novel approaches and advanced systems to better predict and prevent occurrences. The use of geospatial technologies, combined with data mining and machine learning techniques allows for significant advances in the criminology of place. In this study, official police data from Porto, in Portugal, between 2016 and 2018, was georeferenced and treated using spatial analysis methods, which allowed the identification of spatial patterns and relevant hotspots. Then, machine learning processes were applied for space-time pattern mining. Using lasso regression analysis, significance for crime variables were found, with random forest and decision tree supporting the important variable selection. Lastly, tweets related to insecurity were collected and topic modeling and sentiment analysis was performed. Together, these methods assist interpretation of patterns, prediction and ultimately, performance of both police and planning professionals.
Horn-affections are very common surgical affections of integumentary system of bovines. The horn encloses the corneal process of the frontal bone, except in polled breeds of exotic cattle. The interior of the horn consist of irregular spaces which are continuation of the frontal sinus. Diverse horn-affections included avulsion, fracture, septic-horn, horn-cancer and faulty-trimmed septic horn. Present study was conducted at Veterinary clinical complex, CVAS, Navania, Vallabhnagar, Udaipur (RAJUVAS-SOUTH CAMPUS) on thirty-six clinical cases of bovines. This study concluded about incidence of hornaffections at south Rajasthan, Inta-operative observations and post-operative complications associated with presented and operated cases.
Total 11-cases of different breeds of dogs and one case of Persian cat having long bone fractures were successfully managed using totally intravenous anaesthesia (TIVA). For TIVA, combination of xylazine and ketamine were used for induction whereas sole ketamine was used for maintenance and atropine sulphate was used as preanaesthetic and anticholinergic agent. TIVA found suitable for orthopaedic surgeries in this study. Intramedullary pinning, bone-plating (Dynamic compression plating and Reconstruction plating), external skeletal fixation system (using jess clamps and epoxy) or combination of two different fracture fixation techniques were performed for surgical management of presented fracture cases. For combination of two orthopaedic techniques, either bone plating with supplementary IM-pinning or ESF with IM-pinning were used in this study. All cases were evaluated by radiographs as well as clinical performance of operated limbs. Radiographs were taken at regular interval for assessment of radiographic bone healing and in those cases where radiographs were not possible owner contacted telephonically.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
